--Previous Message-- : I purchased some aircraft to equip my NEPTUN : Cdt. Teste. On the main deck the model shows : open access to the 2 hangars below with two : (sliding ????) hatches to cover the holes. : It is simple to show the hatches shut on the : model, but I want one to be open to show an : aircraft with folded wings on the deck : below. : My question is: Did the two hatches on Cdt. : Teste slide to the side, or were they rolled : up or what was happening with them when an : aircraft came up from the hangar below? : Sliding to the side would have meant that : one half of the deck was covered with the : hatch and could not be used (e.g. for the : storage of another aiscraft). : I could not find any photo showing the deck : and the hatches. Can you help me with a : photo or do you know how what happened with : the hatches when the cranes brought up an : aircraft on deck ? : Thank you very much for your help! : :
